Housing & Residence Life has launched its Basic Needs Support Program, which is aimed at assisting residential students who may be experiencing hardships.

As part of this initiative, the HRL Food Pantry is now officially open for residents facing food insecurity and in need of immediate assistance. If you or someone you know is struggling with access to food, we encourage you to take advantage of this resource.

To access the support, please e-mail the Associate Director of Residence Life, Sydney Roig, at [email protected].
